Now I bet you're thinking like "Has she lost her mind?".
I kinda have lost my mind. Because this is so freaking delicious and HEALTHY! No sugar added! No empty calories!

How can this be?

Let me tell you whats in this lovely dish:
Porridge
80 g Semolina (Svenska - Mannagryn)
17 g of vanilla protein powder
Cook the semolina with water then mix in the protein powder once it's done cooking.

Berries
200 g frozen strawberries (choose frozen when it's winter, you'll save the environment)
50 g frozen blueberries
Pop them in the microwave for about 2 minutes (start with the strawberries if the blueberries are small)

Chocolate sauce
16 g of a LCD drink, in this case chocolate. (Mine is from a brand called "Allevo" though theres many different ones. Use the one you like)
Mix this with a little water. If you prefer it thicker, go for less water. If thinner, add more.

There you go! With this serving you'll get:
487 calories
28 grams of protein
82 g carbs
4 g fat
And a lot of vitamins, antioxidants, mineral and satisfaction!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Don't be afraid of carbs, we need them! Our brain can not function properly without carbs. With this you'll be full for many hours! You wont have any cravings for unhealthy, sugary stuff if your breakfast leaves you satisfied.

Enjoy and stay healthy :)

The chrome tabs should work for you. However, your diet will affect your blood sugar and sometimes you can feel the sugar cravings anyway. Something I used to do when I was fasting was sipping on a small glass of orange juice. The juice contains sugar, though hasn't got as much calories as regular sugar. Pour a small glass of orange juice when you feel you can't fight the sugar cravings. The sour with the sweet will most definitely curb the craving.



The juice should be without any added sugar. Read the labels.

Good luck guys :) I'll give you another tip how to fight the cravings mentally.

I know that you all have been in a sugar-craving-situation. You might be on a diet and feel that you just have to eat some sugar. No, you don't have to eat sugar. You wont die if you don't eat sugar. In fact, you'll only feel better if you withstand the urge to get your fix. So, how can you get rid of this addiction? I'm going to give you a few tips that might help you.

First one is a pill. I decided to give this one to you first because it's a pill that should be taken in the morning, in a purpose of lowering the risk for cravings. It is called chrome/chromium.

Chromium plays a role in the metabolism of glucose, and is necessary for energy production. Since this mineral assists in the production of insulin, it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and can be beneficial both for people with hypoglycemia and diabetes. It is also critical to the synthesis of cholesterol, fats, and proteins.*

I really don't have any sugar cravings at all because of this pill! I've been a serious sugar junkie once, not anymore.


The first one is the one I'm taking now. The second one is always sold out, though just as good as the other one. Find it at a "Life" store in Sweden for 69 SEK / 145 SEK.

My eyes are wet, my heart is bleeding. I'm not a crier though some things can break my heart.
I'm in my own apartment, have food inside of my stomach, can drink water whenever I want to, can take a shower whenever. I can visit my mother or father whenever I feel sad. I have friends I can go to whenever I want to talk or spend some time. I have clothes that keeps me warm. I can light a bulb in a second. I do not have to worry how I'll survive tomorrow. This is nothing one thinks about, but we have to count our blessings! Count your damn blessings! There's so many people in the world that doesn't have our luxury, so many of them dies RIGHT NOW! Right now as I'm typing this, they die!

Imagine this. Somewhere in the world, might not be far from you, a child is cold, hungry, alone, without a mother and a father. This child WILL DIE if we don't do whatever we can to help. Please, please, please, from the bottom of my heart, HELP THEM! I don't want anything for christmas, for my birthday, or any day, except this! If I could, I would give every single child in the world a big hug with so much love that my heart would stop.

Do something! Please! The world is so unfair...

Woooooow It's snowing like never before here, I do not like it!
I went for a powerwalk this morning, my God I love rutines! I love to just wake up in my own bed in the morning, get up and go for a powerwalk. Then have whatever I want for breakfast. Eat it for as long as I want. Work a little, go to the gym, and then do basically whatever I want. LOVE IT! However I should be greatful that I can travel as much as I can, see the world and don't worry about tomorrow and only depend on myself. Be my own boss, work like a maniac or just chill. Though nothing comes for free, work hard THEN you can chill :)




From wednesday night in Gothenburg :)

Guys, I'm so sorry that I've been away. I've been so terribly ill. Fever, headache and a huge annoying nose. Uh :( It really sucks because tomorrow I have to be in Gothenburg for a very important meeting. If all goes well, I'll be "rich" over night. Like 2 and a half years of rent money will be in my account, tomorrow! On thursday I'll get an amount of one more year. This is a lot of money, so I have to make sure that I'm on top tomorrow!
Life sure is testing me right now!

Need to "forget" that I feel like shit and keep on preparing myself for tomorrow! No more "ill-Stephanie-in-sweat-pants", now it's "business-Stephanie-in-formal-outfit".

I'm sorry to disappoint you with this, but I'm going to buy stocks and invest all the money I get, no shopping.

Uh, hope you feel better than me!

Though I ran as I usually do, I did a kille ab session! I've never felt this insane contact with my abs. Ridiculous! My abs have never worked this hard. I was almost screaming at the end because I worked so hard! YAAAAY what an awesome feeling! :D

Since the project I'm hiring for is based in Sweden, this post will be in swedish.

I feel better today than I did last night. Though I don't feel great because it's laundry day. Uh, boring. But I have to do that to. Oh I miss having someone to clean and do my laundry (no, I'm not talking about my mother). I'm not a millionaire yet.



Tea time in the morning with a cup of green tea with lemon and ginger. AWESOME drink for detoxing! The lemon and ginger gives you an inside shower, helping to remove toxins out of your body.
Got to start one machine then head out for a powerwalk. The snow looks so pretty outside which gives me a certain feeling (I'm not horny again, that was 2 days ago). I feel love in the air, basically because Christmas is coming up which is a holiday of so much love! My relatives are coming from England to visit, I'm soooooo excited and happy :D LOVE THEM! ♥

I didn't know how full I was of toxins until I came back from Paris. It's 2 am, I'm in my couch feeling like crap! I feel like I have a fever and a headache from hell! I am never ill, never. So I know why I feel this way, it's because I'm detoxing. Since I am a health freak, love to learn about everything in health and finding new products. So, in Paris, I found a detox drink that was supposed to be similar to one I used before which I got in Sweden. My God this really works! I have never responded this way before to a detox, and I've been through several. Uh, I feel so bad that I don't even have the energy to go up and take a picture of it. If I survive the night, I'll give it to you in the morning!

Oh I found it... Lucky me that didn't have to get up.



It is also supposed to prevent water retention. Ha, no wonder I'm in the restroom many times a day. If you want to do a detox like this, drink lots of water! Dehydration is very serious and can lead to death!

I have 51 songs in my "Gym" playlist on iTunes. Here's my top ten for maximizing my workout!

1. Deadmau5 - Strobe (Radio edit)
2. Marilyn Manson - This is the new shit
3. Robert Miles - Children (Full version)
4. Filter - Skinny
5. Katy Perry - E.T
6. John Dahlbäck - Hustle up (Albin Myers remix)
7. Swedish House Mafia ft. Pharell Williams - One
8. Swedish House Mafia ft Tinie Tempah - Miami 2 Ibiza
9. Deadmau5 ft. Rob Swire - Ghosts n' stuff (Album version)
10. David Guetta - The world is mine

All of them;

Doesn't matter if it's raining, snowing, if there's thunder and lightning. I'm always exercising! It's been snowing all day and I do not like snow, though I went out on a powerwalk anyway! Now I'm going to take a 15 minute walk down to the gym and jump right up on the crosstrainer. The weather has gone mad, it's snowing like crazy! I hate it...
It looks pretty from where I am now, inside! Uhh... Go away snow! Come back at Christmas Eve and leave right after.

I LOVE IT! I ran to it yesterday, and will go for a powerwalk to it now.
I'll give you my playlist today :)

I still have the same feeling that I wrote about in my previous post... Uh...

Anyway,  the photo is from last wednesday when we went out. I'm not as glamorous at the moment. I'm in my couch with a bathrobe, listening to one of my favorite songs ever!



I'm not her biggest fan, though I love this one! I sat next to her, her husband and Victoria Beckham at Monkey Bar in NYC. By the way, Victoria is not as thin in real life as she is in magazines.

I will now write about a subject that I'm not completely comfortable with. Right after I slow down my workout... I feel ridiculously horny... (I'm blushing now). I really get that feeling. Don't know what it is. Like today for an example. I stopped running after 10.5 km, then I walked for a few minutes to get my heart rate down. Then I felt soooo damn horny... I thought about the man I'm currently dating and just felt so... AHHHH! It's always like this after I run. The crosstrainer doesn't make me feel the same. I calmed down a bit now but as soon as he called me after my workout I just wanted to rip his clothes off and throw him down on a bed... or wherever! Ah, gosh I'm really blushing now... I'm really frustrated because I can not do this for several reasons, one is that he lives in Stockholm and I live in the freaking south... another one is that we're taking it slow with the sexual part, basically to get the excitement up. The thought of him makes my head spin! I don't even see other men, I want him, NOW! I'm not used to talk about this subject or feeling this intense urge to be with one special man in this way... I am usually not this sexual, what's "wrong" with me? Haha my God... Well, guess I have to do something about it!



Sorry guys, I know that neither you and me are exposed to this subject at all in this blog. I will be a good girl and behave!

Is there anyone that feels the same way that I do after working out? Or am I the only, hopeless, one?

After a few hours of trying to upload one picture, I can give you my breakfast.
100 g of oatmeal
33 g vanilla protein powder
= YUM! 500 calories

The seeds that are sprinkled over the oatmeal is psyllium. This is a seed that will expand when it gets mixed with fluid, so you'll feel full without some unnecessary calories. This is a seed that can't be digested, therefor it will go undigested through your intestine and out again. Great, right? :)

This will keep you full for a veeeeeeery long time!

 

"Psyllium seed husks also known as ispaghula, isabgol, or simply as psyllium, are portions of the seeds of the plant Plantago ovata, (genus Plantago), a native of India and Pakistan. They are soluble in water, expanding and becoming mucilaginous when wet.

Psyllium seed husks are indigestible in human beings and are often used as a source of dietary fiber. They are used to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, and diarrhea. They are also used as a regular dietary supplement to improve and maintain regular GI transit. The inert bulk of the husks helps provide a constant volume of solid material irrespective of other aspects of the diet or any disease condition of the gut. Some recent research is also showing them to be promising in lowering cholesterol and controlling diabetes.^[1]

Other uses include gluten-free baking, where ground psyllium seed husks bind moisture and help make the bread less crumbly.

The husks are used whole in their natural state, or dried and chopped or powdered for easier consumption. In either of these forms, one takes them by mixing them with water or another fluid. Sometimes they are combined with clay as a detoxification drink. ("Questionable Cancer Therapies", Barrie R Cassileth, PhD)^[2] They are also available in capsules. Over-the-counter laxatives and fiber supplements such as Metamucil, Colon Cleanse, Serutan, Fybogel, Bonvit, and Effersyllium have psyllium husks as their main ingredient. They may be combined with other ingredients (e.g., Blackstrap molasses is sometimes used with psyllium seed husks for its high mineral and vitamin content, as well as being an excellent carrier). A typical dose is one to three teaspoons per glass of water. Psyllium seeds can be used for the same purpose at a lower cost."*

Om man som jag har som mål att få en kropp som du har (är grymt imponerad!), hur mycker styrka respektive kondition bör man träna för att få bäst resultat? Och är det en bra idé att endast äta kolhydrater i form av fullkornsris och -pasta de dagar man konditionstränar? Har nämligen läst att man behöver äta kolhydrater när man konditionstränar, stämmer detta?

(If, like me, the goal is to get a body like you (I'm very impressed!), How much strength and cardio should I do to get the best results? And is it a good idea to only eat carbohydrates in the form of whole grain rice and pasta during days I do cardio? I've read that you need to eat carbs when you do cardio, is this true?)

Hi Anna,

Thank you!
To lose weight and tone your body, you need to be on a calorie deficit so that your body burns fat. If you do intense cardio workout such as running etc, you need to eat carbs! Otherwise your body will burn muscle mass. After your cardio workout, you need to eat carbs that your body can use right away, think sugar! So after your workout, you could eat white bread, white pasta, candy, dried fruits etc. Something that is high in carbs and low in fat. Why? Because your body needs to recover and the carbs will go straight into your muscle and get burned there. If you don't eat carbs right after, you'll eat your own muscle. Though during meals, you should eat healthier carbs, such as you suggested, whole grain pasta/bread/rice. Potatoes are also a good source of carbs, which only contains 76 calories per 100 grams. Pasta is around 320-360 calories per 100 g. If you eat too much white pasta/bread/rice (or don't work out), your body will produce insulin, which will store fat!

 

Don't skip carbs! You need them for your brain to function properly! Chose the heatlhy option :)

The server is making me furious, can't upload any photos.... AAAAAAAH! I'll work on it and get back as soon as I can.

A private nightclub, one of the best in Paris! I had so much fun, we got home at 1 pm the next day!

Oh wow... It's only 1 p.m. and this day is upside-down already! I wish I could share more with you, because I see you as my friends. Though it's a public blog, so anyone can read it. I just do not understand some human behavior. How do I put this... It's like... I'm always honest and real, almost too much of both. You know like I don't have a bunch of friends, I have two close friends. Because I want to give them all the love and attention I can... you can't give that to everybody... It will not work. However, some people think they can have everybody as their friends and tell everybody that they only have one friend, and that is you. Which is obviously a lie, which leads to a relationship without trust, and then leads to heartbreak. After that heartbreak, it leads to a caution when it comes to the next relationship, which might go the same way. Then you get even more cautious and then maybe you might end up as that same person. Someone that collects "fake relationships" in hopes of not getting heartbroken again... I hope that I'll never end up like one of those people. My heart is fragile because I've met people that put me in the category of "fake relationships", and I've been on the edge of joining their circle. My heart is bleeding a little because of this. And I am VERY, VERY cautious when it comes to new relationships! I love with all of my heart, the purest form of love. Sometimes I get angry at myself for giving myself away like this, that I should hold back. To some people I do... When I sense a heartbreak coming, I completely shut down and become cold as ice, because I'm frightened... It should not be like this. Be real to each-other and don't break any hearts! We are all in the same boat.

... to tell a story of how great life can be.

linnea om In love again...:

du är saknad här när du är "borta" och inläggen kommer mer sällan. 
ville bara att du ska veta att du nästintill är övärderelig i denna bloggosfär :)

kram!

Linnea, du gav mig nästan en tår i ögat! Jag vet inte ens var jag ska börja med att förklara hur mycket det du skrev betyder för mig! Ja... nu har jag en tår i ögat på riktigt! Tack, tack, TACK underbara du! All kärlek och lycka i världen till dig! <3

Heeeeey my cuties! Sunday and Monday was busy. Work, work, some more work and some stuff to do before this week. I'm leaving Sweden today! Where will I go? You'll see tonight or tomorrow :)

While I was walking down to the gym, I thought about what I should do. Should I go for the crosstrainer as usual or should I try to run again? My knees gave up a few months back and I haven't dared to try running longer distances since. Though when I was at the gym, I took a look at the treadmill and felt just as if I saw someone from before whom I've been madly in love with. You know when you see someone you once had feelings for, and never got over him/her? Then you see that person again and just feel like running straight into his/her arms and stay there forever. That's exactly the feeling I got. Now we can discuss forever if I've been madly in love or not, though that's another story. I started running and almost got tears in my eyes, just as if I explained to that person how much I loved him, over and over again. Until the treadmill couldn't take it anymore, so it stopped by itself for some reason. When it came up to 919 calories, it just shut down leaving me there like "WHAT THE F*CK?!, you don't love me anymore?".



But I still got some of my fix, so I'm now numb by love. Think I reached 16 or 17 km.



And got a little injured... Love hurts!

Time to hit the gym! I got my favorite cardio song ready so I can set the machines on fire!



I used to listen to this all the time back in 09 when I ran everyday. I'm not very happy that it's a song that people with ED's tend to use for motivation to become even skinnier. Though I bet Filter wrote this song with them in mind. However, I think it's an awesome workout song. I go nuts when I hear it, especially the end of it!

I woke up really late today so if time sets the name for my meal, this would be dinner (only had breakfast today).

160 g Tuna
125 g Avocado
44 g corn
83 g passata (passerade tomater)
25 g Low fat cream (milda mini mat extra)

460 calories

This took me 5 minutes to make, could it be easier?

Will head to the gym in like one and a half hour to burn 600 calories ♥

We watched "Dear John" last night. I've been wanting to see it for a long time because I thought that it would kick ass, be amazingly romantic which I hope would leave my eyes a little blurry. But it was crap. Sorry but it really was! For a 15-year old girl, I believe that it would be just as I hoped.

The only thing I thought about while watching is that Amanda Seyfried has the most beautiful hair, I wish my hair could be like that without any extensions or hours in front of the mirror.

A total of 855 today! Now I'm in a hurry. Going to watch "Dear John" with Olivia and I'm sitting here naked, just got out of the shower. Later!

A hair band and a hotel robe, then you got yourself an outfit!

Ah, I'm stuck here listening to "The Script". They are good, not awesome, but okay. I will head to the gym in a few to burn some calories and burn some anger.

This Friday started with a smile on my face. I went for a powerwalk in the pouring rain and loved it. Then I got back home and started to do some work... Then I TOTALLY LOST IT! My heart started racing and I got so pissed that I didn't know what to do. When you work with people, when you're the boss, you want them to do a great job, otherwise you have to do it yourself. When I worked as an employee, I ALWAYS DID THE BEST I COULD! I always made sure that my performance was perfect so no one would be ashamed of me, most importantly that I wouldn't be ashamed of myself. I want to be proud of what I do, knowing that there's nothing that could be better.

The reason why I'm pissed now is nothing I'm going to share here, due to it's lack of professionalism. It's just when I give a huge opportunity to someone I believe in, and they completely mess it up, or in this case doesn't even try and just lie about it, that's when I lose my mind. I have a gigantic heart and believe in being loving and caring, though my professional side is very, very, VERY strict. Tough love!

I could really see myself in this color, should I go all the way?





(Klick on the images to make them larger)

Ah, help me out! Give me a comment about which one you think I should go for!

Try yourself here

Playing around with my looks. I need a change... Which song is better to listen to right now than this one from nip/tuck?

Meanwhile I was making dinner, I was sipping on a glass of white wine which I got with my hot man. I'm not a big fan of white wine, though he really knew that this was a killer one! It's great! However, we only had one glass together then we opened some bubbles instead. So now I had this bottle at home for a few days and poured myself a glass. While I was sipping on this wine I made too much food, maybe because I dreamed about him joining me. Reality woke me up so now I'm sitting here with one portion of food, my glass of wine, the roses that I got last week (still alive, wow!) and just wish that there would be someone special sitting next to me. AAAAH COME ON HAHA, when did I become like this? My God, I surprise myself. No, I'm not in love, I'm just very, very attracted to someone. Gosh I need to stop this goofiness. If you saw him, you would understand!

I cleaned the screen of my Mac right after I saw this photo, yikes!

I'm still smiling. What an awesome day! I went to the gym with a smile on my face, kinda giggled the whole session because of joy. Left the gym after 600 burned cals, smiling even more than before. I never want this day to end!

Time for lunch/dinner... what to eat? I even feel like trying a new recipe. I'll browse some recipe sites and get back to you later!

Slap me across my face and call me Santa Clause! F*ck this is good!
I'm the biggest fan of Christmas, just love it with all my heart. It has always been the best holiday of the year. There's so much love from my family and relatives, so no wonder I associate the smell and taste of Christmas food with joy, happiness and wellbeing. My favorite is gingerbread spices and saffron. So this morning I made a porridge with gingerbread spice! AHHH MY GOOOOOOOD! As soon at that scent hit me I started smiling and felt ridiculously happy! I can't stop smiling, I NEVER WILL! :)

Here I have 50 g of buckwheat, 50 g of semolina (Svenska - Mannagryn). Mix this with the love of my life, gingerbread spice. Also add 15 g of vanilla protein powder to make it even more irresistible, if that's even possible. Serve with 60 g of cottage cheese and 50 g of blueberries and you've got yourself a fairytale!

Total of 500 calories

I came across a great home-made face mask. This is one that tightens and moisturizes your skin.
Always clean your face before applying a face mask!


Start with one egg and two cups. Separate the yolk from the whites.

Beat that m-fucker white up! Beat, beat, beat!















Use the white foam and apply it to your face. Leave it until it's dry and hard. Then rinse.
Do the same thing with the yolk. Poke it, apply it on your face and leave for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse!

Your skin will become much tighter and feel silky smooth!

Hi Stephanie! How are you able to afford your lifestyle? I mean the traveling around the world and expensive clothing? Versions I have speculated: a) men buy you stuff (if so where do you find these guys) b)rich parents. c) you work your butt off at B&J
Hope you don't find this offensive, I just want to learn stuff from you :)

 

Hi May!

I don't find it offensive at all! I would too be curious :)
I've been thinking about the answer to this question a lot since you wrote it. Should I be compleately honest? Should I not tell you the whole story? Should I lie? I'm obviously not going to lie, that would make me feel really bad, I've never been a liar.

All of the above speculations in your question are correct.
A) This might sound stupid or "wrong" but I can not see myself with a man that is 1 - unemployed 2 - lower class 3 - close-fisted. Why? Just because I am a very ambitious woman that will put my carrier in first place, love second. So I've always been seeing men that are where I want to be. This is nothing I have been searching for. If a man shows interest in me, and he's not who I'm looking for, I'll just ignore... Some find this very disturbing, but it's just the way I am. You are who you have coffee with (I'll tell you about this in another post). I don't want to talk about past relationships but the one I had in NYC was a CEO of an international company. Had a huge flat in Manhattan. Was so smart and intelligent that my knees got weak whenever he opened his mouth. I want to be where he is, and he showed me the way to success. A guy from 1, 2 or 3 could not do this for me, that is nothing but true! So, because of him, I didn't have to work for a year... could buy whatever I wanted and still have money in the bank after we broke up. (We met through a friend we had in common)

From a visit in NYC January 2010. On "Top of the Rock" Rockefeller center.

 

B) I'm an only child. My mom has a kick-ass education and a really great job. My dad knows money very well and is an expert in making them grow. However, I was never spoiled, I've always been taught the value of every single penny. Therefor I am the entrepreneur I am today. But I have never been broke, they always helped me if I needed financial assistance.

C) B&J was not really a "job" for me in the meaning of making money. I obviously don't have as much money today like I had last year. This was more of a personal study I did for 3 weeks. So I don't work for them anymore. Though I can say this, every single person that I met from B&J are awesome people! I use to see B&J as just another brand, but they are so much more! Great company!

So, I can basically afford my lifestyle by making the right choices! If you love to travel to exotic places, have nice clothes and eat at fancy restaurants, you need to be with someone equal to you, (or go alone). Otherwise you'd end up at McDonalds.

I hope my readers don't find this offensive either. I believe that honesty is the only form one needs to use when speaking.

 

 

jag undrar vad du använder för ögonbrynspenna?
(Which eyebrow pencil do you use?)

 

Hi Nadja,

I do not use an eyebrow pencil just because it can often look like you just plotted a "fake" eyebrow. I use a very cheap kind of make up for them. It's called "Eyebrow color by H&M".

I use the lighter color for my eyebrows and the darker one as an eyeshadow.

To create a pair of nice eyebrows, you should pluck after your shape, do not try to re-shape them. It will look ridicolous.

Follow these lines. Do not pluck too much! Thicker eyebrows are hot!

I love Dalblads bars! They taste great! My favorite is the gingerbread flavor, which was sold out today. So I got another favorite, which is blueberry and vanilla. this one is only 147 calories per bar (55 g). The other one I got is called fudge crisp. Never tried it before and feel like eating it right now... though I have to wait until next snack time.

Just made myself a cup of green tea and will now answer more of your questions.

Good morning! It's not a BS day today... Woke up feeling great! Even though it's raining outside, I'll head out for a powerwalk now and then try to smile the rest of the day so it wont turn into yet another BS day. Huh... it stopped raining now... how GREAT is that? :)

Later!

Hur lång tid tog det för dig att gå ner?
Hur mycket gick du ner i vikt totalt?
Var du lika taggad att springa på löpbandet från första början?

Puss på dig tjejen, du är grym!

(How long did you take to lose weight? How much did you lose? Were you excited about running right at the very beginning?)

Hi Emma,

To lose the first 10 kg, it took me about 5-6 weeks, then I went straight back to NYC. I believe that the total weight loss is somewhere around 18-22 kg. I stopped using the scale when I reached my goal, but had a feeling after a while that I lost much more than that. So I started putting on some again and looked a lot better!

I was a smoker for 6 years and had quit 3 months before I started running. So I was overweight, very lazy and a former smoker. Running was so tough! I remember how much I hated it at the start. I ran for 2 minutes then had to stop due to exhaustion. Then ran for 2 more and did it all over again until I felt like I already died. Though it didn't take long for me to become faster and stronger. After 3 weeks I ran 10 km without stopping once! That's when I fell in love with running. You just have to make it through those first tough weeks, then you'll feel like you could run forever. I promise!

If you got a pair of sneakers and a big amount of motivation and patience, you could change your whole life around.

Puss på dig, DU är grym!

A pic from my very first day as a runner! March 19th 2009.

I'm having a shit day. One of those days when you feel like nothing is right. A total BS day! Wait a minute, I had two BS days! Yesterday and today... Don't know why. I guess one of the reasons is that I got too much sugar in my system during Saturday, so now my body is working hard to detox me. Ah I will NEVER eat sugar again, sugar is the devil! Another reason is that I'm bored to death. I have tons of stuff that I need to take care of, but I feel like I just want to hide under the covers and drift away for a while. Though that would make me angry because I always have to be busy... otherwise I'm waisting time. So what should I do? I should make dinner, but I don't feel like it. COME ON! Why am I such a baby? The only thing I feel like doing is going out in the rain, go on a major powerwalk, become soaking wet and scream on top of a hill. Huh... That would be liberating!

Hur fixar du håret? Med vilka produkter? Sjukt snyggt!! Plus, bästa rumpträningen?

Hi Livi!

Beautiful hair.
I use Joico K-pak shampo and conditioner. I use to have seriously damaged hair but Joico took care of that! I also love Lee Staffords heat protector. It leaves your hair silky and straight. Never use a straightener or blow dryer without a heat protector! It burns your hair.

I will give you a tutorial of how I do my hair soon.

Create a killer but!
Often you might find some workouts online that promises a killer but "without the effort". Those never work! To get a really hot behind, you need to go to the gym and do some tough resistance training. The results will come very soon.

My but, which I think is just perfect the way it is!

 

 

Time to start a new healthy week! After eating candy, pasta and drinking wine the whole weekend, I need to detox my system and get back to normal.



So powerwalk it is! With one tank top, two t-shirts underneath. Couldn't possibly become cold now.

It sure wont be fun going to bed without him! :(

Enough of the love talk. Tomorrow is a new day! No BS love then. When did I become so emotional? It's somewhat scary, though a very awesome feeling! Night kids ♥
